Online Privacy Policy
Your privacy on the Internet is important to us at Gliddenpr.com. Our online privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") describes the types of information we gather online and how we use it. Please read this information carefully. If the online information practices of Gliddenpr.com change, we will let you know by posting the Privacy Policy adjustments on our Web site. At that time, we will remind you that you always have the opportunity to opt out of any new use of your Personal Information (as more fully set forth below).
Our policies relating to the transfer of Personal Information from the European Union ("EU") to the United States are contained in our European Safe Harbor Policy.
Use of Information by Gliddenpr.com
We gather certain types of customer information in an effort to improve your shopping experience and to communicate with you about our products, services, promotions and contests. Gliddenpr.com and ICI Paints may also use this information to make offers to you, help us develop and improve Gliddenpr.com and tailor our site to your interests.
Information Collected by Gliddenpr.com
Gliddenpr.com collects two types of information about users: "Personal Information" (such as name, email address, mailing address, phone number) and "Aggregate Information" (such as information about how many users log on to our sites on a daily basis).
Personal Information Collected Online by Gliddenpr.com
Personal Information is collected online when users voluntarily register with Gliddenpr.com to purchase items, receive electronic newsletters, use community and communication services, answer surveys and enter contests and other promotional opportunities provided on Gliddenpr.com, when users make a purchase, and when users utilize the "Email to a Friend" feature. We also maintain a record of your product interests and purchases online.
Aggregate Information Collected Online by Gliddenpr.com
Aggregate Information is nonpersonally identifiable/anonymous information about you, such as age, gender, types of products purchased, pages you access most frequently or search terms you enter. Aggregate Information is used in a collective manner, and no single person can be identified by that compiled information. For example, the number of people who shopped at Gliddenpr.com during a specific time period is Aggregate Information that does not personally identify a specific user. Tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses is one method of collecting Aggregate Information about your activities online and information volunteered by you. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Web. The computers, which deliver the Web pages to you, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from our site, our servers log your IP address.
Sharing Information Collected Online with Third Parties, Service Providers, Consultants and Affiliates
Gliddenpr.com does not share, sell or trade with third parties your Personal Information gathered online, such as email addresses, Personal Information collected as part of an online survey or other specific details about you, except with your consent or as described in this Privacy Policy. We do not contribute to or participate in cooperative databases, which give other companies access to such Personal Information. For privacy purposes, all information relating to our customers is stored on a secure server.
We may share Personal Information gathered online with our service providers (for example, a credit card verification service and an order fulfillment service) and consultants or for any internal business purpose. We may also disclose Personal Information if such action is required to enable Gliddenpr.com or any of our service providers or consultants to comply with any valid legal process, such as a subpoena, search warrant, statute or court order, or any valid administrative request from a law enforcement agency. We may also disclose Personal Information if Gliddenpr.com or any of our service providers or consultants believes that the website has been used to commit unlawful acts or acts that may endanger the health or safety of another user or of the general public.
Gliddenpr.com may share Aggregate Information with affiliates, service providers and consultants for any internal business purpose and with third parties for their advertising and promotional purposes.

The Platform for Privacy Preferences Project ("P3P") is a standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium ("W3C") that provides an automated, machine-readable mechanism for understanding the use of your Personal Information by the Web sites you visit. P3P uses a standardized set of multiple choice questions covering the major elements of a Web site's privacy policy to provide a cross-section of how the particular Web site handles the personally identifiable information of its users. P3P-enabled browsers can automatically read this set of preferences made available by P3P-enabled Web sites and compare this information to the user's own set of privacy preferences. For example, Internet Explorer 6.0 requires third parties to set cookies to deliver P3P "compact" cookie policies with their cookies, and other browsers may use this mechanism soon. To enhance your online experience further, the Glidden Web site is now P3P enabled. For more information on the W3C and P3P, please visit http://www.w3.org/P3P/. Given certain limitations in the parameters chosen by W3C, however, the P3P mechanisms may not describe Gliddenpr.com's privacy practices as accurately as this Privacy Policy. Accordingly, where discrepancies exist between this Privacy Policy and the P3P "compact" policies, this Privacy Policy shall control.
